More Encyclopedia Articles to Write
On Sunday night, I sent in my article on Alexander Hamilton for the Encyclopedia of the Early Republic and Antebellum America. I also asked for and received assignments to write several more articles: a sidebar about Hamilton’s duel with Aaron Burr, an article on the fugitive slave laws, and an article about the domestic slave trade.
The total word count for the four articles will put me over five thousands words, so I’ll get a free copy of the encyclopedia and actually be able to own my first published writing. (At work yesterday, a fellow editor congratulated me and then mentioned that one of his short stories was published in third grade. I’m behind.)
